Last week, a delegation of Trinity students attended the Kentucky United Nations Assembly conference here in Louisville. Thanks to the facilitation of Walter Mata and Jorge Serrano – as well as Chaz Kapfhammer and Max Corbett, co-presidents of Trinity’s Y-Club – the conference was very successful for the Trinity students who participated. The Shamrocks showed incredible professionalism and were recognized both as a delegation and individually.
The Shamrocks were awarded the Outstanding Statesmanship award for an excellent display of character from the entire delegation and was declared a Premier Delegation.
Kaphammer served as KUNA’s editor and chief of the Media Corps, presiding over the documentation of the conference.
